DRY CREEK RANCH:

Without question, this is truly one of northern California's finest ranches!

All the improvements on the ranch were builit in 2006 & 2007. Adhering to a western theme, the owner spared no expense in the quality of construction of the homes, barns, shops, sheds and infrastructure.

LOCATION:

Surrounded by the best spring, summer, fall and winter outdoor recreation in the nation, this ranch is within 90 minutes of it all! Lying within the heart of the Shasta Cascade Wonderland, the ranch is located near national parks, recreation and wilderness areas; numerous lakes; several rivers; skiing and snowmobiling; hunting and fishing, etc. Shasta Lake.....California's largest reservoir......is just 6 miles away.
A few short driving minutes northeast of the City of Redding in Northern California's scenic Shasta County, the Dry Creek Ranch is conveniently located near shopping, schools and services.

ACREAGE:

The ranch offers approximately 1200+/- deeded acres, consisting of 8 contiguous deeded parcels. With the exception of one 40 acre parcel that is not included in the offering, the ranch basically forms a rectangular shape stretching approximately 1 mile by 2 miles. The varied topography includes level to rolling to some steep terrain offering several open grass areas, forested hills of oak and pine, stunning canyons and several seasonal creeks and ponds. Elevation ranges from approximately 625' to 1000' feet. Several of the higher areas offer incredible views of Mt. Lassen and the Cascade Range to the east and the Trinity Alps to the west.

Three gates (2 automatic) provide access to the ranch. Roads and trails throughout the ranch provide easy access to all areas.

IMPROVEMENTS:

Structural improvements on the ranch are divided into two complexes.....separated by several hundred feet. Each complex includes a house, garage, and shop. In addition, each complex is independent.....separate parcels, water systems, septic systems, electric meters and addresses. This set-up is ideal for two family situations.

All improvements, including the wells, were built in 2006/07......and all are well maintained. Built to first class and top quality standards, a lot of thought to attention and detail went into the construction of each building. The exteriors, interiors and grounds all have a western decor.

CREEKS AND POND:

Throughout the ranch are several scenic creeks and ponds. Depending upon the annual rainfall, most of these creeks and pond will have water 8 - 10 months during the year. Numerous year-around springs can also be found in several areas.

IRRIGATED PASTURE:

Located between the two complexes with access to the horse barn is a two-acre irrigated pasture. Offering 5 covered corrals, this is an ideal set-up for horses. In addition, there are several acres in the southern portion of the ranch that can be enhanced with irrigation.

WATER:

COMMUNITY WATER: A new community water system with three connections to the ranch is currently being put in place. One connection is at the NW entrance gate and two are at the main entrance gate. In addition, there is a new fire hydrant at the main entrance gate. A new owner will need to put the meters in and connect the system to the complexes. Currently, the complexes are connected to well systems.

WELLS: There are seven wells throughout the acreage with estimated yields ranging from 5 to 40+ GPM. The wells provide water for drinking, an automatic irrigation system and fire suppression. In addition there are two decorative storage tanks with approximately 6000 gallons each.

WILDLIFE:

The ranch has a variety of wildlife including Black Tail Deer, ducks, geese, quail and turkey. The terrain and water found on the ranch offers an excellent habitat and can be improved upon to enhance the wildlife.

LIVESTOCK:

Currently the ranch is running approximately 100 black angus cattle for winter grazing. The entire six mile perimeter has newer fencing. One area in the northeast portion is cross-fenced for animal separation. Near the structures is a fenced irrigated pasture area ideal for horses. Otherwise, the ranch is wide open.

With the abundance of surface water, existing wells, and the ability to drill more.......and several level grass areas found throughout the ranch, additional year-around grazing can be increased.
